I was just looking through the minutes of the last town council meeting held earlier this month and came across this from County Cllr Clatworthy Link Road – meeting taken place £4.2 to £4.9M likely to be awarded which needs to be taken up by 2022. The design is Feb 2019, construction in the summer with completion in the spring of 2020;

Perhaps the ex bastins premises should be converted into an indoor play centre? I suggest that on the basis that some seem to think that having an outdoor play area (ie playpark) on the lawn will draw in more punters who will then spend in the shops etc. So.........working on that hypothesis and given that it rains an awful lot in this country, it makes sense to me that an indoor playcentre (for ...

So if it is self financing then: 1. A lot of people will need not only to infringe the dog legislation but also to be caught infringing it or 2.A target will need to be set whereby a certain number of people will need to be fined (whether or not they have infringed the law) in order for the self financing target to be met.  Can you imagine that? So I reckon it will either be signage only or ...

Sports event on the playing fields - lots of cars Rural Skip in the car park - lots of cars coming and going Coach driver not happy that he can't park up after dropping off holiday makers in the town and his therefore having to stay in his coach parked in Sandy Lane with  hazard lights on. Not a happy bunny. "I thought I was supposed to be able to park here and use the toilets and get something to ...

I read this in one of yesterday's national newspapers: "It is important that he has the chance to see what people in other friendly nations really think of him, and I am sure the British public will be happy to oblige in their tens of thousands." Perhaps he'll be given a tour of our iconic Wembley stadium.....

From the report it seems that Cllrs Clemens,Hockin, Mayne and Wrigley are talking about the countryside park. Cllr Gordon Hook, Leader of the Lib Dems at TDC, seems to be the one who is confused as as he talks about the car park at Dawlish Warren. It doesn't help that the article shows pictures of the Dawlish Warren car park. As DM says - it's Devon live that has got its wires crossed.

I agree with Deedoodle's last sentence. Last Sunday I walked along the joint cycle/pedestrian path from Cockwood to D. Warren.  Not one cyclist who approached me from behind used a bell to alert me to their presence. I am not anti-cyclist. Far from it. But I have had close encounters when using joint paths.

If you click on this link http://www.dawlish.gov.uk/edit/uploads/2409_2008077643.pdf you will go to the minutes of the town council meeting held last week. You will see a report concerning the dog attacks.

This planning application has been withdrawn.

I agree that not everyone has computer access or knowledge and even if they do it doesn't follow that they do online banking. But, it seems that many do. Hence the drop in face to face transactions.  It is the old adage. If you don't use it, you'll lose it. Why is a commercial decision taken by the bank anything to do with the council? (and which council are we talking about here? town council? ...

and another thing. If the Working Party are so keen to hear from members of the Dawlish public why have they not used this site and Eyes of Dawlish (and any other Dawlish based sites that I am unaware of) to let the Dawlish public know of the lawn working party's existence and how to contact it? If we had councillors on this site 4 years ago discussing lawn related things ...

Just imagine how this country's balance of payments might benefit if we could just but export all this excess rainwater of ours to more arid climes.

Has he got another job?

and I wouldn't disagree with anything that you've said Majorp - just flagging up to someone whom I'm assuming is new to this site that this wandering off the original topic is not infrequent.

I'll message you Pea Pod with a recommendation. Look in your in box for my email.

To return to the issue of the proposed playpark on the lawn. See page 2  of today's Gazette.

@leatash @ZIGGY -  might wordsworth's poem. "daffodils"  provide a clue?

So I am. Apologies. (but I still think the idea of having a drop in moaning centre on the lawn is something that should be considered.............)

They'd get flooded.

@Majop  - why not start a new thread on the subject of how Brexit (whatever form it ends up taking) might impact on the UK car manufacturing/sales and allied industries and those employed in them. We may not have a lot of car manufacturing in the south west but I for one know people who live in Dawlish who work in car sales at Marsh Barton.

The UK, overall, may not have voted for Brexit. That's what may have been different.

This mess has apparently be in situ for some time. I have been in contact with Cllr Alison Foden about this matter and she has requested that I put the following on here: " I have reported this load of rubbish numerous times since I noticed it last summer 2017 to the then DTC town clerk, asking that TDC be chased on this. I have repeatedly asked for more litter bins with lids near the benches ...
